A self-confessed lover of old buildings, actor Sonam Kapoor (@sonamkapoor), initially didn’t love the idea of moving away from her stucco building in Notting Hill and into a condominium in Mumbai, “but, as I spent more time in it, the double-height ceilings and the sweep of the lateral space began to seduce me. I quietly relished the idea of creating a spectacle from sheer nothingness.” The roots of such design derring-do can be traced back in Kapoor’s DNA to a matriarchal line of women with a talent for interiors. It was, in fact, her maternal grandmother who lit the pilot flame of her aesthetic interests. “She was a tiny woman but so full of vim,” Kapoor recalls, “She used to race in her Maruti Suzuki to Dadar flower market at 5am to fill her house with scents. She adored classical music, art, and carpets. Having come from a pre-partition Sindhi family in Karachi who had to start over again, my grandmother had a refinement in her tastes. It is hard to understate her influence on me.” She finishes alight with the warmth of the memories. “Besides my nani, my aunt [AD100 interior designer] Kavita Singh (@kavitasinghinteriors) has been the main voice within these walls, alongside my own.” Kapoor invited her celebrated aunt to collaborate with her on the new project. The pair threw themselves into transforming the contemporary blank canvas into, in Singh’s words, “the homage to Indian craftsmanship that my niece has been imagining for a long time”.

Presenting the September-October print issue of AD. Sonam Kapoor’s (@sonamkapoor) Mumbai home is a magnificent layering of Tanjore paintings, Naga panels, Rajasthani jalis, zardozi embroideries and beyond. Along with AD100 designer Kavita Singh (@kavitasinghinteriors), she composes a love song to the decorative arts of India. With an eye for heritage—Kapoor has curated a succession of interiors that startle with her innate sense of craftsmanship and detail. AD previously featured her Notting Hill pied-à-terre and Kensington studio, and we continue to be struck by her talent for reinvention and her knowledgeable patronage of the arts. “This house, which I share with my husband Anand (@anandahuja) and baby son Vayu, represents a new chapter for me, as a woman, a collector—and a mother,” she says. “I had been longing for a base in which to curate all the things I have collected while filming in far-flung parts of India over the years. If I love something, nothing will stop me getting it home,” she recounts, sharing with gusto the adventure of carrying a vast Bikaner durrie, found while filming at Lakshmi Niwas palace, back to Mumbai where it languished in storage. Now it embellishes the entrance hall, a chorus of soulful reds and oranges under foot, in a room made otherworldly with antique Chinese glass paintings and Pierre Frey wallpaper. For our September-October issue cover, Sonam Kapoor (@sonamkapoor) invites AD and its audience to catch a glimpse of her home, a labour of love. On stands at the end of August.
